Question about camshaft
Camshafts are not as important for performance on forced induction
engines as they are for naturally aspirated engines. When air is being pushed into the cylinder under pressure and there is a turbo in the exhaust, intake tuning and exhaust scavenging play a reduced part in overall performance. Of course, anything that helps the smooth flow of air (reduces resistance) will be beneficial, so a properly designed intake manifold, head work, decent exhaust manifold and correctly sized exhaust will help extract the maximum from your setup. Stock 4AGE cams work just fine for a lot of people. If you want to go further look for cams with more lift but without a lot more duration. Around 8.1-8.2mm of lift will work with stock springs, and duration in the 256-264deg (advertised) range. Kelford Cams make a set of 193-T turbo cams for the 4AGE with specs 262/266 Degrees advertised duration. 8.25mm/8.25mm lift. However if you look around you may be able to pick up a set of used HKS cams for less money. There is a fair amount of voodoo involved in matching cams and cam timing to a turbo. Your turbo needs to be matched to the engine to ensure that it operates in the higher efficiency part of its performance map. You will need adjustable cam gears and the makers of turbo cams often recommend uprated valve springs to make sure the valves close correctly at higher boost pressures.

You will still have to check valve clearances, and possibly change shims - No cam will say they don't need to check valve clearances. Dan - You can | .... OR you can ask for help!!!
